Quitting jobs reaches 17-year-high

Nationally, 3.56 million people quit their jobs in May — more than double the 1.6 million layoffs for the month — the highest number since January 2001. Career advisers in Central Florida aren’t seeing people quit en masse, and they maintain that it’s usually not the best approach to improving one’s career path. Yet low unemployment makes it possible to succeed in doing it.
